What if your TEM could run #microED and solve structures on its own?
Just insert your sample—watch the structure appear.
No human picks. No manual tweaks.

Unthinkable just 10 years ago:

Almost 3/4 of the EU’s electricity in 2024 was from renewable energy sources and nuclear.

Gas and coal electricity generation is at record low levels.
